Remove and replace tail light
I need to remove and replace the tail light on my 21010 E350. I've gotten to the point on the attached instructions where I loosen the nut (13) and slacken the bracket (14).. No luck, the bracket WILL NOT slacken. Anyone on the forum done this procedure?? Help..tailight remove and replace.pdf

Hold on.... I almost replaced the burnt out Left Low Beam Halogen bulb myself last week, then the dealer did it under the warranty. If it is burnt, the light bulbs are covered under the 4yr/40k warranty.

That's what I thought you might be doing... You are on your own then.

They don't make it any easier to get to these light bulbs anymore...

You mean the reverse lights? I thought those were LED's.
